Alston v. Bracy
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that the court of appeals correctly dismissed Appellant's petition.
Appellant, an inmate at the Trumbull Correctional Institution, filed this petition for a writ of habeas corpus in 2021 seeking his immediate release from prison and alleging that he had completed his original sentence in 2020 and was being wrongfully imprisoned for his 1998 conviction. The court of appeals dismissed the petition because, among other things, Appellant's petition did not comply with Ohio Rev. Code 2969.25(A). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant's failure to comply with section 2969.25(A) warranted dismissal.
